Rpm and Deb packaging is missing 'provides' and 'conflicts' tags/sections

[412b]

Those sections are essential for package management and package relationship descriptions.

Thanks for the info. You mean rpmConflicts and more keys are missing from the documentation?
Would you like to make a pull request?

@muuki88 I mean that I don't see a way to set those in control file for rpm or deb package.
e.g. for debian there are debianPackageDependencies and debianPackageRecommends, but nothing like debianPackageProvides and debianPackageConflicts...
Or is there a straight-forward way to set those I'm missing?

[muuki88]

For the debian there is only debianPackageRecommends and debianPackageDependencies.

rpm however has rpmProvides, rpmRequirements, rpmPrerequisites, rpmObsoletes, rpmConflicts and rpmDependencies.

So debian may need some additional settings. Unfortunately the DebianPlugin is a bit more confuse. However if you want, I can help you with making a pull request, adding the requested debian features.

@muuki88 yep, let's give it a try then, we need those features
